I am specifically on Second Life RC LeTigre 2026-05-27.26527189617 , when I open up maps I can only see my current region's name and any avi's until I click on an adjacent region, the region might then refresh and display it's name and avi numbers but not always. I can move to a 2026-05-12.25766421211 region and the maps works fine

This also impacts some other viewers too such as CoolVL Viewer from what I have heard, and is caused by Firestorm and some other viewers sending MapBlockRequests of blocksize 256, which has worked for over a decade.
This has now become an issue due to a change on LL's simulator side enforcing a limit much lower than 256, and has now caused this side effect for pre-existing viewers who were requesting more than 64.
We are awaiting further information from LL on their plans regarding this new limitation and if a viewer-side change is required, and if so will mean all previous FS viewers (and some other third-party viewers) from this point and older (7.2.4 and older) will have non-fully functioning map search unfortunately.
Looks like LL will be making changes to this new enforcement in the next sim update so existing viewers such as Firestorm, CoolVL and possibly others won't have non-functioning map search.

This seems to be a firestorm-specific issue.
Region names can load, but don't appear automatically when using Firestorm 7.2.4 (80712): https://youtu.be/x5iH1LqwbCo
When I try the same with Second Life Release 26.2.0.25386466510, region names appear automatically and parcel names resolve properly when I click on specific locations: https://youtu.be/NgeMpm_t0UQ

I see this going on while in a MC region on version 2026-05-12.25766421211.
Maybe it is the map tile service that is having issues?
